Facing animal cruelty - a reminder

Dear beloved community,

I have been receiving numerous emails and posts on facebook re harm to animals, the planet, and the oceans - especially since the unfortunate oil spill and its shocking ripple effect... Also likely because as humanity, we have just stepped strongly and deeply into the "thick of it" (the last lunar eclipse and this whole week have been about releasing old karma, grief, and ways that no longer fit). I wish to share with you my thoughts on the matter:

We are being asked to awaken to our Truth and move from greed and competition onto collaboration, Service, and Oneness with all living things.

I wish to remind us all that only Light can abolish all darkness... When we encounter harm done by humans onto animals (or other humans) - despite the pain in our hearts - please let us remember what the animals are asking us to do and be - the ONLY way to help shift and help reduce their suffering - is by working so hard on OURSELVES in remaining in our LIGHT no matter what!!!

Some animals indeed are suffering needlessly in the hands of humans who are so lost and detached from their own soul and heart, and it is heartbreaking to see / hear / feel their call of pain and suffering.

Yet when I check in (often) and ask "what can I do on your behalf? how can I help you??" I keep hearing over and over again - "BE LIGHT. BE LOVE, WE TEACH YOU THAT. COMPASSION IS THE WAY TO UNITY AND ONENESS. FORGIVENESS AND LOVE ARE THE ONLY HEALERS..."

This is not an easy task, however we MUST - as they ask us - remain compassionate; understand
that all suffering unto another being comes first from a place of inner injury, of self

hatred projected onwards, of deep pain and fear so great that no other way seems to work in their illusioned-afflicted mind. Separation so profound that it convinces them that harming another being is the only way to defend themselves against their own unwanted parts and thus has no barring onto them. These poor souls have forgotten that ALL of life is a shining reflection of God's love... They have lost touch with their own innocence  . How very sad to live so alone and fragmented within!!

If we could direct love onto their broken hearts (the people who harm), maybe even one of them would change their way - Once they begin to allow themselves to see through the eyes of compassion and perhaps feel a tiny ray of Light directed at them, they will feel ONE with all kingdoms of life, and will no longer be able to

harm anyone else, for Love IS the only healer!

Immense love to you all,

Shiri
